Quote #7
Every street led towards her house; the hackney-coaches stood in their places to carry her home the more quickly; Paris was associated with her person, and the great city, with all its noises, roared around her like an immense orchestra. (1.5.174)
Now Paris is Madame Arnoux. Everything in the city reminds Frederick of her. Yeah, he's got it bad.
Quote #8
Frederick was thirsting to fly from Paris. She did not offer any opposition to this whim; and next morning they set out for Fontainebleau. (2.14.236)
Why does Frederick wants to get out of Paris so badly? Is it to escape the upheaval? Or just for a little lovin'?
Quote #9
The light at certain points illuminating the outskirts of the wood, left the interior in deep shadow, or else, attenuated in the foreground by a sort of twilight, it exhibited in the background violet vapours, a white radiance. (2.14.364)
The descriptions of the countryside are a nice break from all the urban imagery in the rest of the book. Maybe Flaubert should write travel guards, because we kind of want to go to Fontainebleau now.
